India Today
Tamil Nadu schools reopened today across the state while following strict Covid-19 guidelines.
School children appeared for physical classes as several schools across Tamil Nadu reopened on Tuesday for students from Class1 to Class 12. The physical classes in the schools have resumed while following strict Covid-19 guidelines.
The students who enjoyed an extended holiday due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the Pongal festival which was in mid-January, were given hand sanitizer and had to undergo a temperate check as they stepped once again on their school campuses.
Amidst strict social distancing norms, the seating method of two students per bench was resorted in several schools.
However, some educational institutions still preferred to continue their classes in online mode.
The management had properly sanitised the classrooms and grounds prior to the reopening, and greeted its pupils with thermal scanners and hand sanitizer.
The state government has allowed physical classes for Classes 1 to 12 in all state schools from today, with the exception of playschools and nursery schools on January 28.
Additionally, the state government had further announced a revised schedule for the first revision test for Classes 10 and 12 from February 9 to 16 with the second one commencing from March 28 to April 5.
